Area roundup: Dahmen fires 67, finishes second at state amateur

Richard Lee, who had a tournament- and course-record round of 62 on Thursday, settled for a 1-over-par 73 on Friday to win the 82nd WSGA Washington Men’s Amateur golf tournament.

Lee’s four-round total of 275 was good for a five-stroke victory over Clarkston’s Joel Dahmen, Derek Berg of Duvall, Wash., and Jarin Todd of Woodinville, Wash.

Dahmen, the 2007 champion, closed with a five-under-par 67 at The Links at Moses Pointe in Moses Lake. The round, his second consecutive 67, vaulted him from fifth place into the tie for second.

Ryan LaRue of Spokane shot a final-round 75 and finished tied for 33rd at 301.
